His clinical interests include hemorrhagic stroke, coma, status epilepticus, acute neuromuscular disorders and traumatic brain injury. He has been involved in several investigator initiated projects in subarachnoid hemorrhage and also participates in multicenter clinical trials. His primary research interest focuses on how body's response vary to acute brain injury like subarachnoid hemorrhage.

He also is involved in medical education through training medical students, residents and clinical fellows and mentors trainees in their research projects. He was awarded outstanding attending physician by neurology residents in 2018 and most influential medical educator by graduating neurology residents in 2015 at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City.
